: : : Is there a website for Roger's Rangers?  Probably not - what do you recommend I read to learn more?
: : : Pat

: : Siyo Pat,

: : Yes indeed there are some Rogers' Rangers sites, both reenacting & historical. Rather than list them all here, I would suggest going to Mohicanland's link pages, click onto F&I War Magazine & you will find reenacting units there [some with links of their own plus history]. Also, I believe that Mohicanland's link page has a historical link to the Rangers [am I wrong Rich?]...
: : If not, I have a couple I could forward to you.

: : As to books, my friend George Bray sent me a whole slew of books specifically dealing with the Rangers which I've got floating around here somewhere, but a few that come to mind that are easily obtainable & well done are,

: : America's First First World War - by Timothy Todish
: : [Tim Todish is a Ranger reenactor, & one of the foremost authorities on Roger's Rangers... this book is a brief overview of the whole F&I War period, concentrating on the Rangers, & is heavily illustrated]

: : Warfare on the Colonial Ame. Frontier - 
: : [includes the 1769 Dublin printing of Major Robert Rogers journals, & a historical account of Henry Broquet's expedition against the Ohio Indians in 1764 ]...

: : Battle of the Snowshoes - by Bob Bearor
: : [Story of this 1757 battle, the author , treked over the site in period clothing]....

: : Sketchbook '56, vol.1, Roger's Rangers - by Ted Spring
: : [though this one is primarly a "sketchbook' of equipment for reenactors  it has some good written history of the unit & its more famous raids and battles]...

: : You can acquire these books from sources like Smoke & Fire Co., Panther Primitives, Dixie Gun Works [etc]...
: : May I also recommend the History channel presentation called "Frontiers, tales of the Old Northwest". Part one is about Rogers' Rangers [I like the whole series, very well done]...

: : Thats about it, hope it helps...

: : "Champ"

: Champ,
: Thanks for all the good info and thanks to all who posted and emailed.  Unfortunately, we don't get the history channel, but I now have a good list of recommended books to read and some web sites.
: Thanks, and say hello to your nephew.
: Pat
